A Shaky Start

In the exciting era of 1960's pop music Steve helped form a Rock n' Roll band that achieved considerable success in South Wales of the UK and, as his story shows, may well have gone onto greater things. Although the band always thought that the singer had enormous potential, little did they know that he would later grow into an international singing star. The band was Shakin' Stevens and the Sunsets and Steve was the bass player in the original Sunsets line-up. There has been much misinformation published about these early years, in print and on the Internet, a great deal of it seemingly to denigrate the early group members. In this book Steve, as the last surviving member of the original Sunsets, puts the record right - as he says - he was there. Steve has written in a humorous style which makes for an entertaining read that nonetheless brilliantly captures the essence of the era through the eyes of a successful local band. he goes on to recount his career both before and after the Sunsets, highlighting the changes in pop music tastes.
